Meet Katie Gutierrez
I used to believe that I was stuck – that I had gone too far in my career to turn back.
As a Project Manager working in email and digital marketing for Silicon Valley tech companies and large corporations, I woke up one morning feeling a sense of unease about the rest of my day – and that feeling never stopped. That is, until I worked with a coach myself. Through that experience, I was able to discover that I was in a non-value aligned role; that I was in an environment that wasn’t conducive to my goals, energy, or motivations; and that I wasn’t stuck. There was a way out. I just had to dig deep enough and put in the work to figure out the right path forward for myself. Through that experience I discovered that I wanted to help others in the way that I myself had been helped, as a coach.
I completed my coach training through the Professional Coaching for Life and Work program at University of California, Davis in the summer of 2022 and opened up my practice in August of 2022. In March of 2023 I earned my ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential through the International Coaching Federation.
As a coach, my objective is to uplift and provide clarity to those going through times of transition or transformation via deep and authentic discourse. I work with intermediate and mid-career professionals who are considering making a change by helping them to gain clarity on their mindset and next steps so they can move forward in their lives with purpose and authenticity.
When I’m not coaching, I love to read, hike, travel and cook. There’s nothing quite like sharing a meal and a story with a loved one. I reside in the Bay Area with my husband and cat, the latter of which you will likely see in some sessions!
I look forward to making a difference together.
